Think Like A Journalist Quote
“Every time you state what you want or believe, you’re the first to hear it. It’s a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don’t put a ceiling on yourself.” –Oprah Winfrey, media proprietor
“When we think about what we want and we think about things, it becomes a mathematical possibility. And the way that we imagine it, the way that we believe in that causes us to be inspired and when we’re inspired and we’re connected to that which inspires us, our possibility becomes a probability and the only one thing that stands in our way from that belief, that probability–that mathematical advantage in life–is ourselves. So, if we can learn to get out of our way and take action with discipline and strategy and awareness, we can make any possibility our probability but most importantly, we can make it our perspective–our reality.” –Dave Meltzer
